But these were kids who on the average could think of nothing beyond playing music. It was over 35 years ago I would hear people laughing and making that comment all the time. As a matter of fact, you can hear it being said today (usually jokingly by a musician who’s been in the area a while), and when someone makes the comment we all laugh now, just as we did 35 years ago. But I now stop and think about how grateful I am that this standing joke is so true. Brevard was and is bursting with musical talent. And this is nothing new in the least, which is why I would like to “Transcontinental Mercy Flight”, Robbin Thompson (singer), Joe Billington (guitar), try to go to the beginning as Jim Nash (guitar), Hank Saunders (drums), John Lane (bass). continued next page

The Of course the bands I remember begin in the 60’s. One auditorium was formerly the Merritt Island skating rink where of the most loved and listened to bands that I have already I spent many weekend nights skating. The really unusual talked about (1964 in Cocoa Beach) was none other than thing about this skating rink is that instead of playing records “The Fantastic Group”. A very different time, a very different to skate by, they would have live bands. Also opening for Cocoa Beach. And then there were the “Tropics”, and a group “Spirit” this particular night was “The Fantastic Group”, and I would like to mention, “The Tasmanians”. I frequented the looking up to Kenny Cohen as a bass player, John (who was “Tigers Den” in Cocoa many times to see this band, just as I one of the upcoming musicians) says he still remembers as he was always in the front to see and hear “The Fantastic Group” walked off the stage at the same time “The Fantastic Group” and “The Tropics”.

I remember taking it for granted that my friends and I would go out on Friday and/or Saturday night and have a great time and couldn’t ask for better music to dance to, just listen and appreciate, or stand around and listen while with your friends. But whatever you were doing the music would always catch your attention, and even though the land, population, so many things have changed over the years in the area, that is one thing that has not. Brevard definitely still possesses the musicians with the ability to grab your attention, which is why people drive from Orlando on a weekend when our local musicians don’t book a gig in their town.

Brevard Live August 2006 - 21 Movies by Greg Kimple & Franco Dean THE RETURN OF THE HEROES! Superman Returns Starring: Brandon Routh, Kate Bosworth, Kevin Spacey, Frank Langella & Parker Posey. Rated PG13. Running Time 157 Minutes Look! It’s a Bird! It’s A Plane! It’s Superman! Why LOOK? If he is returning where the heck has he been and what new & exciting life experiences does he bring to the cinema viewing audience? None. The original TV series in the mid 50’s starring George Reeves was brimming in imagina- tion and relevance. The 4 big-screen remakes of the late 70’s thru the mid 80’s starring Christopher Reeve rekindled the public’s interest in the Man of Steel. Now in 2006 he returns but the story remains the same. Superman is back after 5 years of visiting his home planet Krypton and immediatly saves a NASA Shuttle and also a big Jet Airliner. The FX work in this film is quite extraordinary as it was directed by Bryan Singer, the dude who helmed the first 2 X-Men movies. His style and panache teamed with his superhero knowledge takes this one as far as it can go. The newcomer Routh who portrays the “Big Guy” is rather unique in his own style as the hero with a little vulnerability. Another virtual newcomer Kate Bosworth plays Lois Lane, the love of the caped Superhunk’s life. (She was in Wonderland, Blue Crush, Beyond the Sea... now she is in a blockbuster.) We’ll be hearing more from her in the future, I’m sure. 2 time Oscar winner Spacey plays the criminal mastermind Lex Luthor. He is evil personified, very direct and demanding, he wants to own and operate his own continent. Anyhoo, the chemistry between Superman and Lois is cool, restrained and somewhat romantic, since she is now married and has a kid. Superman’s alter-ego Clark Kent is still mild mannered, fumbling, bumbling and mumbling. Long story short, Superman foils the dastardly deeds of Lex Luthor and saves America from certain perilous doom. Costing up- wards of $300 million, if he were here today, the editor of the Daily Planet, Perry White (Langella) would assuredly bellow “Great Ceasar’s Ghost”. C PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: DEAD MAN’S CHEST Starring: Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom, Keira Knightley, Bill Nighy. Rated PG 13. Running Time: 150 Minutes It looks like mega-money-making producer Jerry Bruck- heimer has done it again, by striking gold and plundering the box-office in this sequel to the at-sea-romp of 2003. This movie set a new record for the most money made in an open- ing weekend. Arrr...to the tune of $132 million, but who’s counting. Depp, Bloom and Knightley have all returned and so has director Gore Verbinski (he made 2 sequels at once, so look for part 3 this time next year) Back also is the Black Pearl, the title ship from the original flick. Swaggering Cap-

22 - Brevard Live August 2006 tain Jack Sparrow (Depp) in all his half gay and half drunk glory returns as do lovers Will Turner (Bloom) and Liz Swann (Knightley). Sparrow owes a blood debt to sea lord Davy Jones (Nighy) who is a sight to behold with his Octopus’ face. Jones is the keeper of an underwater sea monster known as the Crack and he also helms a ship of undead fools called the Flying Dutchman. Sparrow must find with Turner and Liz’s help the secret of Jones’s hidden chest so he can... Oh..... it’s just too contrived. Knightley is pretty feisty, Bloom is vigorously valiant and Sparrow is flamboyant and funny. The FX are spendid, the movie is entertaining, but in a Lord of the Rings kinda way, Savvy? WARNING: We’ve seen this all before and will again next year. While a friendly movie critic could call this the best pirate movie of the year. I would tell you that it’s the ONLY pirate movie of the year. I give it a C for Sea Worthy

Brevard Live August 2006 - 23 BILL VAN RIPER SOME BRIEF THOUGHTS

he last few articles have been pretty heavy, so I thought I’d lighten things up around here this month. I was going toT write another article on weird laws, because I find them so fascinating, but some thoughts just popped into my brain. The problem is, the words were all in alphabetical order, so I had to sort them out. I hope I did it right. Let the games begin!

Ok, so here’s my weather report for Iraq: Mostly Sunni in the north, but partly clowny in the rest of the country. Chance of brain: 0%. And, by the way, if we went into Iraq for the oil, how come oil prices are so friggin high? I had to sell my car just to buy some gas. Now I have nowhere to put it. There is one good thing that came out of these high gas prices, though: it doesn’t take as long to pump 10 gallons of gas. And with my hectic lifestyle, this is a plus. You’re not going to believe it, but some weeks I have to work over 18 hours! I feel a nap time coming on just thinking about it.

The house recently voted to outlaw Internet gambling. The vote was 317-93. One more nail in the Freedom and Democracy coffin. Actually, they just voted to forbid the use of credit cards for betting on online gambling. I guess they figure that will leave us more to blow on pornography, at 19.99% APR. Anyway, check this out: ‘The legislation would clarify current law to spell out that most gambling is illegal online and would prohibit most payment forms from being used to settle online wagers. The measure also would empower law enforcement authorities to work with Internet providers to block access to gambling Web sites.’ If this bill goes through I’m moving to Moldavia, and I don’t even gamble. Where the hell is that?, you ask? Just hit Romania and make a right. You can’t miss it. As a small aside, here is a fascinating stat about Romania: They have an estimated 16 million cell phone users, 13.6 million internet users, and only about 500,000 cars! I don’t know what it means, but there’s gotta be a joke in there somewhere.

Another very strange thing I just noticed is that you can’t type the word ‘internet’ into your word processor without getting a red underline! Ahhh...what’s going on? Well, I figured it out. The word has to be capitalized: Internet. There. What really ticks me off about this is that the spelling Gestapo in my word processor figures that nobody would use the word ‘internet’ and not mean THE Internet, so let’s just make it a mistake to do so. A bit presumptuous, aren’t we? Of course there are ‘internets’ outside of the Internet, so I think somebody needs to be punched, or at least fired. Another small aside? Sure no problem. In my younger days I used to get the word ‘gestapo’ and ‘gaspacho’ confused. As of the present, I’m not so confused, so I don’t call the Melbourne Beach cops ‘gaspachos’ anymore.

24 - Brevard Live August 2006 column

My cat, Fuzzwad is really big now. As such, he’s not the blur-around-the-walls-of-my-apartment he once was. As a matter of fact his favorite thing to do is lay on his back with his paws over his head and stare at the ceiling. He does this for really long periods of time. I know he does this because most of the time, I’m doing the same thing right next to him. We’ve really bonded well in the 8 months or so that I’ve had him. We hunt together now. If he sees a bug on the wall that he can’t get to, I’ll hold him up so he can reach it, or I’ll smack the bug down to the floor. So now, when he sees something he will come and meow at me, to hip me to the fact, then I will follow him to the ‘hunting ground’ to see what’s up. Sometimes I think he’s chasing electrons, though.

Ok, ok, ok....you want a few weird laws to hold you over until next time? Here are some I really like: In Chicago it is illegal to fish in your pajamas, or to bring a French poodle (or should I say Freedom poodle? Is that whole thing over yet?) to the opera. In Montana, it is illegal for a wife to open her husband’s mail. In Nebraska it is illegal for a mother to give her daughter a perm without a license, whereas in Michigan, a man owns his wife’s hair (ewww). In Port Huron, MI, the speed limit for an ambulance is 20 miles an hour. In Mississippi, it is still legal to kill one’s servant. In Kentucky it’s illegal to carry an ice cream cone in your back pocket. (I think it should be illegal to be that stupid), and, finally, in New Hampshire, it is illegal to die margarine pink.

Well, there you have it. If you feel the need to be a rebel rousing renegade, now you have some choices.

What power has law where only money rules? --Gaius Petronius (ca. 66 A.D.)

Even Stevie’s mother (see photo) was caught by surprise. It certainly was a great party with lots of cheers and many happy wishes for the newly wed couple.

From three years of age until twelve, she lived in Sylacauga, Alabama. The long, lazy summer days in the south, filled with nature, exploring the outdoors or lazing in the shade, shaped her fondness for birds, frogs, trees -- anything in its natural form and environment. Her paintings reflect the beauty of those days. After Alabama, Walton moved to Wilmington, Delaware, and lived there through high school. One week after Walton graduated from high school, her LOLLY mother died. That tragedy defined her adult years. She felt she had to pull herself out of the rubble, to invent a life for herself. It taught her to stand on her own two feet in days long WALTON before women were encouraged to do that. Walton knows that the event could have conquered her, but she chose to make a For Lolly Walton, happy, positive life for herself — “To rise from the ashes,” as nature is where her she puts it.

While living in Miami, she and her husband had another place in the Florida Keys where they enjoyed fishing and boating. Her days in the keys added picturesque images to her memory bank. When she took up painting, she found herself drawing on those images for inspiration. Walton didn’t take up painting until 1997. She started by taking some art courses at Miami Dade Junior College. She took drawing and watercolor painting lessons from Jean Pateky. This was her start. She also took watercolor instruction from Ricardo Aberle who teaches at Fairchild Tropical Botanic Gardens in Coral Gables, Florida. Walton joined the Miami Watercolor Society and became involved with other painters. Caliope Polimus was one of Walton’s mentors from those Miami days. She met her in a

56 - Brevard Live August 2006 watercolor class, and Polimus has inspired and encouraged Walton every since. Two years ago, Walton and her husband moved to Brevard County. She is thrilled with her new home. She is surrounded by what she likes best… the water, nature, and a supportive art community. Walton is a dynamo with a “Zest for Life” sign flashing over her head. She finds art so satisfying that she has boundless energy for it. Her feet had barely touched the ground after moving here before she had joined the Strawbridge Art League and became the hospitality chair for that organization. She also joined the Brevard Watercolor Society and is the current membership chairperson for that group. She also was the co-chair of the Brevard Watercolor Society’s show, Splash 2006. And, she also belongs to the Florida Watercolor Society and has submitted a painting for consideration for their annual show. When asked why she chose watercolor as her medium, Walton said, “Because it’s a challenge. The medium is so unforgiving—you have to rise above it.” She didn’t shy from this new challenge. After the rough start she had when her mother died, she said that she is always up for the fight to conquer what comes her way. She is certainly succeeding at mastering the medium. She depicts nature with a beautiful blend of colors that draw you into the scene. Her paintings make you feel you could put your feet up and enjoy one of those lazy, summer days with her. Walton regularly exhibits her work. She has had exhibits at the government center through the Brevard Cultural Alliance. She entered the Landmarks—Our Heritage exhibit sponsored by the Strawbridge Art League and won a merit award for her depiction of the Olden House. This year she joined the Art and Antiques Studio Gallery on Highland Ave in Eau Gallie. The gallery is a cooperative where the artists display and sell their work. Walton attributes her knowledge of the business end of art to the gallery. On September 1st, 2006, the Art and Antiques Studio Gallery will have a reception for Walton from 5:30p.m. until 8:30p.m. Her paintings will be featured for the month of September in the gallery. The public is welcome to attend this opening reception. Walton’s advice to young mothers and those just starting out is, “Be true to yourself. Pick something you love and make it your avocation, so you’ll have something to fall back on – so you’ll be able to leave your mark.” Walton has taken her own advice. She pursues art eagerly, looking forward to the next painting or the next thing she will learn from the art and the people she meets through her art. It is a pleasure to encounter someone who derives so much satisfaction from what they do. Her energy is refreshing and contagious. If you’d like to contact Walton, you can call her at the Art and Antique Studio Gallery at (321) 253-5553 or at her studio at (321) 253-1941, or you can email her at lollyart4sale@ bellsouth.net.
